shoes. Methinks our chinese friend - if thats where he 
comes from - hasn't done very much market research. He 
would be much better off targetting running clubs and 
sports facilities. Stoopid or what? Probably making a 
completely unwarranted generalization here, but that is 
very unusual for someone of his ethnicity; still i guess 
someone has to be a tail end charlie on the normal 
distribution of IQ.

All probably true.  :-)

We continue to work on this. The spam level is much lower 
at this point than it was previously. We are removing 
accounts for spammers as soon as we see them but if you see 
them before we do, feel free to drop me a note.
